Currently under Sven Birkerts as editor and William Pierce as senior editor, Agni continues to pioneer and champion risky and rigorous work, including a lot of literature in translation, on the American literary landscape. The website includes exclusives not available in the print magazine and is very regularly updated.
Edited out of Sheffield, UK, by Alex Houen and Adam Piette, this is a magazine of poetry with "prose, narrative, or sequences in its sights" that, without much ado, intently cuts across global anglophone poetry's different camps, presenting (for instance) Simon Armitage, Bill Manhire, Rachel Blau Duplessis and Caroline Bergvall all side by side.
Rigorous and wide ranging book review, edited out of Port of Spain by Nicholas Laughlin, and substantially accessible online.
Webface of what is perhaps Africa's most provocative and intense magazine of art, writing and ideas, edited out of Cape Town by Ntone Edjabe.

An online magazine of literature and politics out of New York, edited by Joel Whitney and Michael Archer, that makes a serious attempt to buck and challenge the continuing cultural and national insularity and inward-looking of so many American literary / cultural magazines, whether online or off.
Harriet is a rotating group blog that now manages to draw into its orbit nearly all the various tendencies in contemporary (mostly) English poetry, and as a result, it often plays host to very robust and heated discussion. Written largely but not only by American poets. Commissioned by the Chicago-based Poetry Foundation, who also publish Poetry magazine (the one that was initially driven by Ezra Pound and Harriet Monroe, this mag is now also available online in its entirety, at the same website).

Written by American "Language" poet Ron Silliman, and quite likely the most read single-author poetics blog on the planet, although his dramaturgy of American poetry politics is frequently disputed. Silliman writes most eloquently on the question of expanding scale in poetry, which is to say, how to deal with an expanding world full of information, and of poets; this is also an abiding concern in his poetic works, which attempt to distill this world using various formal mechanisms.
A site mostly dedicated to quirky reviews of contemporary American experimental poetry.
A new magazine out of Port of Spain that publishes poems, art and very short prose in two formats--online, and in broadside editions posted in public locations in Trinidad.
A "clearing house for the [historical] avant garde" (who was it that called it that?), this pioneering, essential site now contains far, far more video, sound and other materials than any one person could reasonably hope to experience in a lifetime--and a few awe-inspiring gems too.
